When I'm making a movie, I don't like to know what's going to happen next. I like to watch something and be surprised all the time, and just not know, and let it take me wherever.

The thing about living in New York is that there are other artists; that is the most difficult, I think they are the hardest critics.

I think it's your own ghost, seeing the work and just thinking if it will be okay to leave that around.

I think that truth is stranger than fiction, and it's nice to know the people you're making a movie about.

I do dream about art, and images come to me in dreams. I am definitely hoping to be in touch with my subconscious. I expect a call any minute.

I don't know if I could, like, see a face and know what the face of beauty looks like, but after I've seen it I know if I've felt like it was beauty.

Sometimes my kids might tell me they had a dream or and maybe I'll paint some paintings from their dream. That's one good thing you get from your kids. Rob them of their dreams.
